Ten days after Guy visit to Nellie
Captain Nelson returned home, hav-
ing been absent longer than he ex-
pected, being detained on important
business.
'sHeigho! Nell, I'm back again, you
see" exclaimed a young girl entering
Nellie's room that morning, and inter-
rupting pleasant reverie which she
was then indulging in.
Looking up, Nellie saw it was her
old friend, Belle Grahame, and, as she
did not know of her return, was quite
surprised to see her.
"Why, Belle, is it indeed you::" sand
Nellie, impulsively kissing her. 81

"Well, l have been trying to make

down here soon, to spend while with
DR.. Ellison, as particular friend of
his, Mr.. Carroll, is staying there"
"Oh, | met Mr.. Carroll under very
romantic circumstances" said Nellie
with laugh. "Three days ago went
fishing alone, and | fell in the water,
right by our old uprooted tree, and he
saved me from drowning; he called
the next day, to inquire after me, and
| enjoyed his visit greatly. He is de-
cidedly handsome, and very entertain

Mr.. Carroll is fond of fishing?'
81 reckon he ought to be- rejoined
Belle, ''for he landed pretty large
fish when he got you out of the
stream"
"Well, at any rate, he has moi

"You know what Shakespeare says
Nell," replied Belle, "'bait we'll the
hook, the fish will bite.
"He will have to keep the hook well
covered to catch me. But if Mr.. Liv.
ingstone goes fishing with you after
he will soon be pleading his cause be-
fore the Supreme Court, whose chief
judge is Cupid"
This conversation, replete with
bright repartee, continued for awhile
and then Belle arose to leave ; turning
to Nellie, she said:
"Say Nell, Uncle Jim will be ava!
two nights; can't you persuade YOU
father to let you stay with me during
his absence: Run and ask him."
Nellie bounded lightly away, and in
few moments returned, saying tina
her father had consented. Taking th'
broad-rimmed straw hat, that we hay'
before mentioned, she accompanied
Belle home.
Belle Grahame was an orphan, an'
Il ward of her uncle, Mr.. James Ora
hame, who was childless widower
and was devoted to Belle, and indulg
ed her to great extent; at his deatl
J she would inherit all his worldly pos
sessions, which amounted to quite
snug little fortune.
